We’re not allowed to be disabled AND have any sort of life. Just like we shouldn’t need to be out after dark either.

Since Zack became high profile in the Green Party and then won the leadership vote it’s been lovely to have that feeling of hope again. We knew we needed the Tories out & I don’t think any of us really thought Labour would screw us over so spectacularly. But here we are & for me the future is Green.

Feeling your pain. Every new Apple device has been a delight until this week with my new iPhone. Will it allow me to use iMessage? Absolutely not. It won’t work on my iPad now either. Feel like going back to my old phone.

Anyone below or hovering around the poverty line who rents privately urgently needs #LHA to be unfrozen but it wasn’t mentioned today. A huge disappointment when so many already have a rent gap to cover. I can only surmise they intend to leave it frozen for another year.

I’ve read through the entire budget document and there’s no mention of it. I can only presume that means it’s frozen once more. They mention the increase in rent in the private sector and the hope that the renter’s rights bill will help. Cop out.

Thanks. Very helpful.

I’ve been hunting for any mention of it too but haven’t found anything yet. I agree it’s absolutely critical.

I don’t want to have to use PIP for rent but LHA doesn’t come close to meeting rent in my area unless it’s social housing. There is no social housing for disabled people under 55 though. It’s farcical. When will the govt realise the impossible situation many are in?

The LHA gap is a nightmare. More so if you’re disabled and need a home that meets certain accessibility criteria. I already have a gap of £300 pcm. This will only increase if they freeze LHA for another year. They say PIP shouldn’t be used to pay rent but how else do they expect us to stay housed? 🧵
